CDL 2026 Fixtures Set as Birmingham Major Qualifiers Enter Final Weeks

The second Major of the CDL 2026 season is closing in fast. With only two weekends of online qualifier action remaining before competitive Call of Duty returns to Birmingham, UK, seven matches are scheduled across Friday and Saturday to help decide which teams punch their tickets to the tournament.

Friday, March 13 opened the penultimate qualifier weekend with Toronto KOI taking on Cloud9 New York at 19:00 GMT (20:00 CET), followed by Riyadh Falcons against Miami Heretics at 20:30 GMT (21:30 CET). Paris Gentle Mates and OpTic Texas closed out the night at 22:00 GMT (23:00 CET).

Saturday, March 14 carried four more matches. G2 Minnesota and Carolina Royal Ravens got things going at 19:00 GMT (20:00 CET), with Vancouver Surge facing Toronto KOI at 20:30 GMT (21:30 CET) in a rematch of fanbases, Toronto going back-to-back across two days. Los Angeles Thieves then met Cloud9 New York at 22:00 GMT (23:00 CET), with Cloud9 similarly playing their second match of the weekend. Paris Gentle Mates rounded out the slate for the second consecutive day, squaring off against Boston Breach in the final match of the night at 23:30 GMT, tipping into Sunday morning at 00:30 CET.

Sunday, March 15 was listed on the schedule but no specific matchups were confirmed in the available information at time of publication.

The broader qualifier field includes franchises such as FaZe Vegas and Carolina Royal Ravens alongside the teams featured in this weekend's slate. The CDL's full roster of competing organizations, including Toronto KOI, Cloud9 New York, Riyadh Falcons, Miami Heretics, Paris Gentle Mates, OpTic Texas, G2 Minnesota, Vancouver Surge, Los Angeles Thieves, and Boston Breach, are all deep in the online qualifier grind as the Birmingham Major window continues to narrow.

With just one more full qualifier weekend to follow after this one, standings pressure is mounting. Birmingham will mark the second Major of the 2026 season, and the online qualifiers are the last filtering mechanism before the scene shifts to the UK.
